This is also known as Warstone Cemetery and one of the historical cemeteries in the Jewellery Quarter. I have wandered around many cemeteries, thanks to my family history research, and this one is really worth exploring. There are various information panels dotted around and there are trips you can book to visit the catacombs. One grave that is highlighted is that of Warrulan, who died so far from his homeland.
Oh wow. I love cemeteries and I’ve visited a lot. Highgate was amazing with all the crypts. But this cemetery is in a world of its own, it’s not the biggest I’ve been too. But it’s unique in design. Plus there’s a lot to do in the area if you was to visit. If you like the oldy worldy cemetery scene and like a bit of history to go with then go have a look.
Warstone Lane Cemetery is one of two cemeteries in the city's Jewellery Quarter, the other being Key Hill Cemetery. It is worth a short visit to this old cemetery to walk along the ancient paths and see the unusual design of the gardens. The original grounds was a quarry which explains the design of the catacombs. The catacombs where built over several levels where the digging in the quarry used to be, so you get this pretty almost amphitheatre visual effect when viewing the catacombs from the south or a nice panoramic view from the north. A couple of the prominent people buried here are John Baskerville, the industrialist and atheist, and John Postgate, the surgeon and food safety campaigner. It's about two minutes walk from the Jewellery Quarter Tram/Train station, but don't go out of the way though.
Interesting cemetery in the heart of the jewellery quarter, previously a quarry hence the catacombs where the old quarry face used to be, all sealed up now unfortunately due to vandals back in the 90’s but still an interesting sight to see in the middle of birmingham
Been wanting to come here since watching Richard Felix on Youtube about the ghost that haunts this graveyard but i think its just mainly of a night time. I just seen two dog walkers letting their dog's walk over the dead. Have people have no respect of the dead, its upsetting to see this happening.
A lovely quit place to make a stop, sit down and relax ….
Tranquil Tapestry: Green Oasis: Lush lawns, towering trees, and vibrant flowerbeds weave a tapestry of tranquility. Gravel paths offer peaceful meanders, punctuated by benches that invite moments of reflection. It's a haven from the city's bustle, offering a space to breathe and reconnect with nature. Architectural Gems: Scattered amidst the greenery are stunning mausoleums and ornate gravestones, each whispering tales of the past. Victorian-era angels, weathered inscriptions, and family crests all speak of lives lived and legacies left behind. Wildlife Sanctuary: The cemetery buzzes with life beyond the human stories. Birdsong fills the air, butterflies flit between blooms, and squirrels scamper along branches. This unexpected wildlife sanctuary adds a layer of charm and a reminder of the vibrant ecosystem thriving within the grounds. Whispers of the Past: Historical Haunts: Brookfields is the final resting place of notable figures from Birmingham's history. Exploring their memorials and reading their stories offers a glimpse into the city's past and the lives that shaped it. Community Canvas: The cemetery is not just a museum of the past; it's a living space for the present. Families visit to remember loved ones, dog walkers find solace in its peacefulness, and mourners find solace in its embrace. Touching Tributes: The personal touches scattered throughout the cemetery – a child's teddy bear left on a grave, a faded photograph tucked behind a headstone – add a poignant layer of humanity to the historical backdrop. Mending Minor Mishaps: Maintenance Mishaps: Some areas of the cemetery could benefit from a touch of attention. Weathered paths, occasional overgrown sections, and chipped headstones would benefit from some restoration efforts. Signage Snags: Navigating the vast grounds can be a bit challenging, especially for first-time visitors. Improved signage and perhaps a map at the entrance would enhance the experience and help visitors find specific plots or historical points of interest. Accessibility Gaps: Not all areas of the cemetery are easily accessible for people with mobility limitations. Providing ramps, wider paths, and perhaps designated parking spots would make the space more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
Beautiful old cemetery.
This is worth a visit definitely something different in our wonderful city. I need to go back wit a proper camera hopefully on a sunny day.
